Bacterial composition and function during fermentation of Mongolia koumiss.

ABSTRACT: Koumiss is a fermented mare's milk beverage that has attracted increasing attention due to its nutritional richness and important economic value. Bacteria in koumiss play a major role in pH decreasing and reducing spoilage through bacterial inhibition. The dynamic changes in nutritional content were determined firstly during fermentation, and then the metagenomics sequencing technology was applied to profile koumiss core microbiota at the species level. We also clarified the function and effect of the bacteria on the nutritional content of the final product. We also investigated active microbial function by comparing the metagenomics of representative samples collected at different time points during the fermentation process. This study dynamically revealed the bacterial composition and fu
